Skye

i was at a gathering this last Sunday with a lot of the youth, around my children's age. i was so impressed with the love and care that they share with each other. i was moved to write a poem about one of them, but it is really about all of them.

Skye

Sitting on the beach
Watching the sea
Birds fly by
So high so free

Oh what would it be
For her to fly
High in the sky
So open so free

Surrounding her
With arms open wide
Friends and family
Without divide

Standing with open arms
She receives their love
And looking above
Reaches for the sky
And on waves of love
Never alone
Flying high
Free to roam
Heart to heart
Never apart
